SANCHO OFF TO ENGLAND TO PUSH GEC EXPANSION PROGRAMME

Mr. T. Anson Sancho, chairman of the Guyana Electricity Corporation, leaves Guyana today for the United Kingdom at the invitation of English Electric Company, a multi-million enterprise. English Electric is to sell the GEC a number of diesel machinery and Mr. Sancho will be shown around various factories in many ports of England owned and operated by the company, and more particularly, the administrative process used by the firm. Mr. Sancho will hold further discussions with officials of the company on more machinery that may be ordered by the Corporation.The corporation’s deputy chief mechanical Engineer, Mr. David Spence, is already in London checking on the operation and maintenance of what has been described as, very modern and sturdy machinery. The machinery is necessary both as replacements to worn-out machines now in use as well as for the development programme of expansion in which the Corporation is now engaged.

I accessed copies of the Trinidad and Tobago year books for the years 1921 thru 1935. I paid particular attention to the obituary, which is found immediately following local events in the publications.

I made notes of the data of persons with the surnames of interest to me. At this instance I cannot locate the entire documentation.
In the yearbook for the year 1929 data is found telling readers that Mrs. Elizabeth Sancho, 92 years old died on November 30, 1928. I suppose she was born in either 1835 or 1836. (perhaps, wife of John Sancho??)
In other issues of the yearbook entries listed below are included.
Mrs. Rupert Sancho died November 13, 1924 (Possibly, Chinese-Trinidadian)
John Baptiste Sanco died February 17, 1920. (I believe data will prove this John Sancho to be perhaps too young to be an uncle of Lambert Tuckness Sancho, for I am of the impression Sancho male…

Ordinance, and fined $25 or one month’s imprisonment in default. The complaint
was filed on June 30, 1954, and made returnable for July 7, 1954.”
“As the appeal against your conviction has been abandoned
and the fine paid, I have to inform you that, in accordance with the ruling of
the Law Officers for the breach of the emergency regulations, you are dismissed
from your post as a Cl. II Assistant Teacher in Cane Grove Anglican School as
from 11th January, 1955.” - Joseph H. Jones, Manager, Cane Grove Anglican
School.
Opinion – I have no
recollection of anyone telling Bertrand Abrams was fired as a school teacher. And
for whatever the reasons offered by the colonial authorit…
